Had a chance to use the DualPro Shine case on the HTC One M8. I like the fact it still gives the M8 that gunmetal metallic look even when covered. Its not the exact same color but its not bad. It gives the M8 a better grip then the actual phone itself. It can take a bit trying to pry the cover off. I did a full review on it if you want to check the link as well.

I have this just not the shine but same thing, just plastic i guess? Actually only complaint i have is there is hardly any grip to it and i have the plastic. If this backing is smoother as it looks in pics i would think the grip would be bad as well if not worse. I'm saying when your hands are sweaty/wet there's no grip, gotta hold on tight with this case!
I remember with the M7 version of this case, there would be a noticible impact on reception. Once you removed the case the phone would function normally. Did you see any of that when using this case?

I just bought this case, and I love it and dislike it. Great quality but if you are looking for complete anti-slip form the OEM design of the phone, this is not the case. It has slipped out of my hand due to the metal twice. I was hoping this wouldn't be the case, but im giving it a week . Overall look and protection is great though.
There are no issues with flash on this, or reception, or the IR blaster.
I got the red one from Verizon looks and feels amazing
I have the same one, and while it is a great case it is very slippery. Going to look for.something with better grip.

I had the same case, except in black and gray, not the shine version, but otherwise the same case. Really good protection and fit, phone feels solid in there. But the black one had about zero grip to it as well. It's sort of soft touch coating, but more plastic feeling than rubbery. Also had a slight texture to it. After a week, returned it to the store... Was also considering the shine, but seems like it's just as slippery if not more so. :/
hi everyone,
if anyone has a spare Incipio dual pro shine to get rid of, I'd be glad to exchange it with one of my UAG cases (I can give away both black or transparent versions). Good condition, no trace of use.
PM me if you're interested. Thanks!

I saw earlier that this case I recently got looks very similar to the SUPCASE hybrid bumper case posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706539
Thought I'd post some pictures then and a quick review, since this case is a few bucks cheaper than the SUPCASE after shipping costs and everything, so you guys can get a deal on a preeeeeetty good case. All the cut-outs are where they need to be, the bumper TPU looks glossier than most TPU that are matte, and the HTC One's back looks slick as ever in the clear back window. Can't ask for much more in a case under ten bucks.

Just got this case. So far my favorite case. I have the Hyperion, the cimo, the dot view but so far this is my favorite.
I got this case as well, in black. The top and bottom lips are loose like someone mentioned and quite a bit of dust gets under it . Overall the case looks pretty sleek and the clear back definitely shows off the nice metallic look. However, I feel that the case adds quite a bit of weight to the phone. Maybe I'm just used to the cruzerlite bugdroid cases as I've had on my older phones. Does anyone have both the exact prism and the cruzerlite cases and able to comment on their thoughts? :laugh:
Ah, thanks for the review. I have the Supcase one and it also has the problem with the top and bottom lips being a little loose. I wonder if these are all the same cases with just different logos slapped on the back? I dunno... I also ordered the amCase deal, on it's way. Curious to see if that one's any better.

I don't think anyone will be better than the other.. If you ask me they are probably all made in the same plant(or few plants) just some are stamped with the individual company logo and some are not. There are also a bunch of the same type of case on ebay with no brand name. I mean a lot of these cases that these companies brand are just generic cases from China.

My cheapo amCase came in today... It's basically the same design as all the others, but the back is a matte frosted plastic which actually makes the phone more awkward to hold, it's a little slippery. Basically the same exact tpu bumper, but mine has slightly more sag at the top and bottom lips. I like the way the glossy Supcase feels... will keep the amCase as a $2 spare, lol.
Just picked one up... Definitely like how it shows off my Amber Gold while protecting my device. I don't like how hard it is to get the phone in and out of the case.

I have this same case in the same color. My only issue with this case is the volume control buttons are a little stiff. I hope that will fix itself when the case gets broken-in. I love how this case shows off the body of the M8 through the clear back.
I like the quality of the side's. Would love an all matte case. All I've found have a matte back with glossy sides.

I've seen one by Griffin, has the matte sides, but a glossy back, lol. Saw it at an unofficial Verizon store, was $24.99, which is obviously a lot for a case like this. The sales guy opened it up for me, the matte sides were actually kind of slippery, no grip to them.
Nice review, thanks. Just worried as people seem to complain about the gap on the top and bottom. Luckily they're cheap so no big loss if I didnt like it
In your opinion, this the best clear case out there?
I can't really say, as I haven't tried all the cases. However, evidence points to this case being generic and is identical to clear cases from other brands. The Exact Prism case is at a good price though, so I would wholly recommend it, despite the looser fit.
Anyone have the white/clear one? I was wondering if the white stains
I just noticed that Best Buy has what appears to be the HTC OEM translucent hard shell case for $14.99. Search for SKU 5641313. Anyone have experience with it? I just ordered, but looks like it'll be over a week 'til delivery.
EDIT:
Case arrived. See here:

If it's similar to the M7 one that I had it's a nice, minimal case (and it came with a free HTC screen protector as well!)
I take it this is what you're on about?
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=258366&phone=259879
Yes, I have one.
Barely notice it's there, which is great, but a few days down the line, the back of the case is already showing some scratches.
Does have a slight lip on the front to protect the screen face-down, though, which is good.
I don't think it'll last long until I cave in and get a DotView to replace it.
I was planning to buy this since I had a similar one for my One X. Then I found this Yesoo case. I got the gray one and really like it. Mine came without the branding on the back too which is nice.

Bringing this thread back on-topic.
I received my case today and threw it on real quick. I usually don't use cases, so this is for occasions (like on vacation) when I want a little protection from scratches.
This appears to be a first-party case from HTC, with the Product Name on the box listed as HTC HC C942 Hard Shell. It is translucent, as opposed to transparent, so on my Amber Gold M8 the color is definitely muted. It has HTC branding located directly over where HTC is on the back of the phone. The overall feel is good; exact match to the M8's curves with no seams that can be felt. It isn't slippery, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it soft touch.
Looks good! I have both the hoc translucent case and the yesoo case on the way! We'll see which one I like better

I ordered once cause it was cheap on eBay and I had one on my old M7. Will be interesting to see what it's like against the case that came with the M8 (which I quite like even though it's a little grippy when going into your pocket).
Nice to see some photos of it, gives me confidence in the product. Have you tried the SP that came with it?

I didn't even look at the screen protector, because I've been sold on glass screen protectors for years now. (Although I haven't purchased one for the M8 yet.)
It's hard to say for certain how the screen protector is without installing it, but laying it on the phone, it looks like it covers edge to edge vertically, but not horizontally, leaving maybe .2mm on each side.
I have a Zagg glass sp and I have a kaysone case which is same fit as yesoo case and it fits perfectly the screen bevlels in so it's not going to be an issue ,at least not with zagg
Yes, I have one copy.

Why the heck didn't the Sprint store have this when I bought my M8? They tried to sell me on some clunky $50 Otterbox or something. Ended up ordering a Diztronic TPU case for $10 from Amazon, but I hate how it hides how nice the phone looks. Nonetheless, I've have great luck with Diztronic stuff.

OK, got my one of these. First impressions, perfect fit - like to the mm. Thin but offers nice protection to the phone. Do I prefer it to the one that came with it in the box? I don't know. I prefer the fact I can get to the ports easily BUT I quite liked the fact the one in the box covered the ports so dust won't get in.
SP was easy to fit, and fits well, but it's fingerprint magnet - SO much more so than the screen naked. At least it's covered, though...
I'll give it a few days but might go back to the original case as it offers more grip

EDIT: Here you go
its awesome and look good.
Just picked up the unicorn beetle pro (the otter box level one ) and just wanted to say it is a great case, I'm not much for writing reviews but can answer any questions if anyone else was looking at this case. It seems super durable, it's thick but reasonably so, the ir /power button has a clear cover so it still functions. The rubber sides are much harder than an otter box and don't pull on and off when you pull it from your pocket like some other cases.

I'll add to the positive reviews of this case. I ordered it early through Amazon so I too got it at a great price figuring I had very little to lose. I'm extremely pleased with most aspects of this case. I'm coming from an M7 with a UAG case so I have something good to compare this case to. Best things about this case are:
-built-in screen protector with tacky back. this keeps the plastic protector in constant contact with the screen so not air gaps like LifeProofs iPhone case
- completely covered plastic power button. much better IMO than UAG's slotted rubber button because it provide tactile feedback
-port covers. keeps the dust out
-very little metal is exposed. the camera lenses on back have the typical case protection but I really like the plastic around the speaker grills. looks good and looks like it'll provide adequate protection from most anything short of extreme sports
The only thing that I don't like is that the back of the case has a slight curve to it versus the flat back of the UAG case. But I figure this is why the Unicorn Beetle doesn't feel so bulky.
I was planning on only using this case for when I'm doing yard work, hiking, or playing in the park but I'm happy enough with it at this point that I'll likely leave it on most of the time. It's a great value, even at the current price. I will watch the price closely on this and probably pick up another one if the price drops.
Here we go!
I popped out the plastic screen cover and removed the residue. Case still fits great with my Nillkin Glass screen protector!
The other case is the regular Unicorn Beetle so you can see the size difference.
Sorry delete
Yeah built in screen protector is not that bad but doesn't work well with a wet apply style below it as I had one on mine , they stick together. I'm going to order a glass one and pop out the plastic eventually but the built in is good enough for now

Gestures
Got the case today, and seems like a pretty stout case. I removed my clear plastic as I have a SpartanShield screen protector on it. Customized it a little to my needs... Added mesh on the speakers. It didn't mess with the FFC much, but has a slight difference. I need this mesh as I'm a machinist, and have always had to dig out metal shavings. My main concern is since I've installed this case I havent had much luck with getting gestures to work. It seems like sometimes it doesn't work at all, and other times it seems fine. Didn't know of anyone has had this experience yet.
I haven't had any issues with the touchscreen, but I have a glass screen protector. Loving this case so far. Very well made. Way better than my Otterbox Commuter.

It feels like the lettering is debossed so I think it might be acid etched. Kinda tacky and might be an issue with some of you.
How do these bumpers feel in the hand? Does it feel grippier or more slick?
What would you say are the protective qualities of the case? Or is it purely aesthetic?

Its anodized aluminum, so it feels like about the same grippiness as stock. To me it feels like its mostly aesthetic, the only thing i see it protecting is the machined edge between the sides and the screen, which i probably put a few scratches in to while putting the bumper on so...mostly aesthetic.

Hi,
Does anyone know if this kind of metal bumper would protect the phone from drops ? From what i see on the pictures it is really thin, when the phone it put on a table does the back of the phone has a contact with it or only the bumper ?
For example i saw that the metal bumper from DevilCase for the HTC One seems to protect from drops based on how it was built (in case of a drop, the back of the phone shouldn't have a contact with the floor, only the bumper would) : http://www.amazon.com/DevilCase-HTC-M7-Aluminum-Protective/dp/B00D6OGPU6
Btw the devilcase bumper should be release for HTC One M8 on June.
Mainly the side. If your phone drops and lands flat on its back, it would still get scratched. There is not much protection to the back and some on the front glass. You should with a full case if that's what you need. The side of my phone got scratched pretty easily when I dropped it one time. I didnt go with a full case because that would defeat the purpose of having an all aluminum body.
The slide of your phone got scratched even with or without the bumper ?
Yes that's also my point, i'm trying to see if there is a case that would allow to keep the all aluminium body and also provide some protection too, hard choice ...
Side protection is pretty good. The case fits snug. I'm not worried about that at all.
How does the edge feel? I'm thinking of getting one like this just because I'm starting to dislike the rounded, soft edges of the phone when it's naked. Is it a nice corner ala iphone 5 or is it about as round as stock?
Also does it interfere much with the volume rocker?
i used the devil bumper case !
it needs 4 screws so i kinda feel secure,
but the case im using barely have any kind of protection to the device although it increases its beauty
If you sand the tapered sides of bumper case it will look more premium, I did it with my M7's bumper case.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
So I picked this case up a week ago and put it through it's paces so I thought I would share my my experience with it.
Pros:
- Very slim. Adds almost no thickness to the phone
- Offers good scratch protection for the back and the lens of the phone
- Crystal clear
- Offers a bit more grip.
Cons:
- The fit is a little off. When the case is on, there's a little bit of play up and down and every once in a while, you can feel the sides of the case give when you're gripping the phone suggesting that the fitment on the side is a little off.
- Rough edges. I have a tempered glass screen protector on the phone and it helps makes the front of the phone flush with the edges of the case. Even with this, the edges of the case are sharp. The sides aren't particularly noticeable but the cutout for the camera near the top of the phone becomes very apparent when using the phone landscape. MSRP for this case is $25 dollars and at that price range, I believe rounding the edges to make the case feel a little nicer in your hands is not an absurd expectation.
Overall I really like the case. The fitment issues isn't big enough to affect the performance of the case. It snaps on strong and stays on. The fact that there's a bit of flexing annoys me, that's all. My biggest gripe with the case has to be the rough edges. If you could overlook that, this case is a definite winner if you're looking for a sleek clear case to show off and protect the beautiful aluminum finish of the M8.

You can get it from Amazon for cheaper:

I'll post some pictures soon.
I agree it's not as "snug" as other Barely There cases I've had in the past. I wish they would have covered the top and bottom some what though.
I've upgraded now to the Naked Tough which is essentially the Barely There but with a TPU bumper. In fact if the Barely There was just like the hard section of the Naked Tough, it would be perfect.

Thanks for the review. I used to love the Barely There cases, but as you mentioned, the edges are kind of rough and sharp. Too bad.
I agree that the edges are a little on the rough side but my case has no play in it at all. Its almost to tight, which I guess is good expect for when I've had to remove it. I ordered mine from amazon so maybe with it sitting in storage it shrunk?
This has been the best slim case I have found. I only use the case for light protection and grip mostly. not really for protection.

Yeah that's the trade off with these slim cases. You're getting pretty much zero drop protection and only minor cosmetic damage protection. I could deal without drop protection if only the Barely There covered the top and bottom, I'd be happy with just all round cosmetic damage protection from it. Ended up opting for its bigger brother the Naked Tough.

One is made by Case Mate.
The other is made by a Chinese kid in a dingy factory in China for pittance pay and of inferior quality.
You really have to ask!?

Just to make sure, this is hard plastic and not tpu?

Does it cover the top and bottom of the phone?

I also bought this case and was fully satisfied with it for a while, then the soft touch coating began to peel off. I guess it was my fault, I work in a hospital and clean my phones daily with alcohol. For a long time I've been using spigen ultra fit cases that are also soft touch, and never has the soft touch coating peeled off. On the barely there case it only lasted 3 weeks. Now I forcefully rinsed off almost all the coating. It still works, but it's slippery and looks awfull.

Soft touch? I've only got the clear version but it's not soft touch. Other colours are?

I ordered a Case-Mate Barely There clear too.
The fit is not very tight and the grip isn't so good like from the HTC Translucent Case.
It don't protect the top and bottom sides nor the plugs nor the buttons.
It's very thin and you can see the beautiful brushed metal back of your M8. :good:
Both are made in China.
